Our story “Friends In High Places” follows a certain politically-connected lieutenant and his over-worked chief from the Port of Doula in West Afrika to German-occupied Douai, France. The Second Lady of the United States is being badgered to exert her influence to keep the Vice President’s nephew away from risky escort duty. The Aide to Naval Operations would greatly like to have first hand reporting about developments in military aviation. And the Chairman of the Democratic Committee even has opinions.
The lieutenant is here to fly planes.
